Dark brown pour. No head. Aroma is tons of raisins and figs. Not a whole ton of roast. Maybe some chocolate. Taste is sweet without much underlying flavors. Medium thick mouthfeel. Not getting any doughnut.

Keg at CBC Clerkenwell. Black with a small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, treacle, bourbon. Doughnuts too I suppose, since they’re mentioned. Body is medium, smooth, rounded. Taste is sweet molasses and soy sauce. Has that meaty sweetness of the others in the series, but less of it. Chocolate and prune. Finishes with ash, spice and booze. A nice slow sipper if a little one dimensional and sweet. Good.

650ml bottle from Systembolaget, bought in September 2014. Black with a creamy tan head. The aroma has oaked aromas, with sweet biscuits and candies. Mild carbonated with a thick, creamy mouthfeel, full body. Very deep and rich flavor, caramel, oak, vanilla, brownies, almond, chocolate, coffee and much more. Incredible depth in taste and nose. Forget the 11.5% you just want more.
